I just found a little crab spider. It looks to be a Misumenops asperatus its front legs would probably fit to the edges of a dime, but it is VERY small. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should raise this spider? I know if I let it go it'll just die, and it's my first true spider I'm going to take care of. What should I feed it?

Looks like the one in that picture only ALOT smaller, and not as colorful.

Feed it small crickets their much like jumping spiders and will take down things larger then it easily aswell, well, without the jumping.
